Oh, my darlin',
Fetch my medicine
This world is crueller than you'll ever know
Pretty soon
Well, I'll get up and get dressed
And go out and then come back again
And no one will ever hear this song
And this thing we have carried — it will never be born
We were lied to all along:
Hope is a liar
And the truth… the truth is wrong
Oh, my love,
I know I'll never know you again
Even if I believe in heaven
Oh, my love,
Well, our lives are ending
So that they may begin again
And no one will ever hear this song
And this thing we have carried — it will never be born
We were lied to all along:
Hope is a liar
And the truth… the truth is wrong
Oh, my love,
Well, our lives are ending
So that they may begin again
